Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. If you haven't done so already, cook the bacon according to the package instructions. I like cooking it in the oven, but you can also cook it in a skillet on the stovetop or in the microwave.
  2. In a small bowl whisk together yogurt, apple cider vinegar, honey, water, salt, pepper and garlic powder.
  3. Add broccoli, sunflower seeds, raisins, red onion and bacon to the bowl and toss. Drizzle on dressing and toss until everything is coated.
  4. Cover container and chill in the fridge. Let sit for at least 3-4 hours before serving. Overnight works great too as this salad tastes better after it has had time to sit.

Notes

  • Cook bacon in the oven at 400°F on a foil-lined baking sheet for about 20 minutes until crisp.
  • Drain cooked bacon on paper towels to remove excess grease before adding to salad.
  • Allow salad to chill at least 3-4 hours or overnight for best flavor development.
